This is the final release of the v1.5.2 Python interpreter.
Future releases will be in the 1.6.x series.

Since Python came from the Unix world, it is generally
easier to use if your filesystem supports long filenames.
This release was only tested with long filenames but does
include the components to support 8.3 names.

I used the IBM VisualAge C/C++ compiler, which is a
commercial product. I do not use the freeware GNU C
compiler, so I can't insure these sources are compilable
by such.

Some OS/2-specific changes were made to the official
release. You can find details
here .

In building this version, I had to decide which Python
extension modules to compile into the binaries.

For your convenience I've provided the manuals with the
release, in HTML format. They are readily available in
other formats from
www.python.org To read the ones I've included, just
point your browser to the local file
C:\Python\html\index.html or wherever you installed
Python.
